I have .Net framework on my Win&7 64-bit comp but never found the folder "Server_dotNET" they speak of & how do I "Launch VoidExpanse.Server.exe from ./Server_dotNET/ folder to begin with...please don't flame if you can help it.

I do not know how it would work on Apple or LinuxI am using VoidExpanse v1.29 and windows 7(It might be useful to install games NOT in C:\program files as especially windowscan be an OS in the arm regarding accessibility, hiding important things from the user.)

This is how i did it:1. make a copy of the WHOLE gamefolder (its just 500 mb or so)

2. rename that folder in a way that you know its the server-version of the game (VoidExpanseServer as an example)

3. copy all mods (MPK files) that you want to use to the VoidExpanseServer\Server_dotNET folder

or, if you want to start a dedicated server4b. make a shortcut to the VoidExpanse.Server.exe in the VoidExpanseServer\Server_dotNET folder file and add "--dedicated" (without the quotes) to the Target-line, then use that shortcut to start the server

On my machine it then looks like this: G:\!_games\steamapps\common\VoidExpanseServer\Server_dotNET\VoidExpanse.Server.exe --dedicated

5. you can replace the VoidExpanseServer\Server_dotNET\ServerIcon.png thumbnail with one of your own, that then appears in the serverlisting. It should (i think) also be 128x128 pixels big

6. you can edit VoidExpanseServer\Server_dotNET\SettingsServer.xml to change settings for your server

7. forward port UDP 5000 in your router to be accessible from the internet

Has anyone had any issue with settingsserver.xml not showing up in the folder after created a "new" world? I did all of the steps: 1) created a shortcut; 2) put "--dedicated" in the target; 3) hit new. I can go into the game and add the server and start playing, but the settingsserver file does not show up anywhere.
